Okay, I'm bored and have alot of time on my hands atm.
You have to draw a word.
Let me explain, you have to design a certain word any way you want, as long as it is done by hand.
You can use any format you want, and any themes you want.
Sizes: No more than half an A4 page (and at that it's a bit much)
no less than, well you'll know yourself.
*cropping is allowed on PS, but cropping only.* thank you :)
upload it and post the full size image as well as the link to it
emm, as for the word......I dunno...

edit: AHA!
got it.
Whoever accepts gets to decide if the word is either:

paradox

OR

protean

can be any size (i.e. all caps or not, it's up to you.)
see teh attachement for an example of what I mean when I say "draw a word"

i dont know why 'scizophrenic by design'... it sounded neat =D

edit: for some reason when i first saw this thread it didnt show all yours or any of ants post (hence my quoting in this post).. so i didnt know that you had to do them two words.. or that you did 'focus' either.. just read it as 'you get to pick the word'..

but you didnt do them two words.. unless im reading it completely wrong..

im confused. but im hoping mines allowed since i did four versions of it since i didnt like the others.. but ill do another one if you want me to. =D

Emm, well firstliest, you onnly have to do one of the words.
And I just did "focus" as an example.
But if that took you a long time, well then I won't ask you to do it again.

Well I got one done. My friend got it scanned and sent it to me. Like 1/4 of an a4 page. It just lookes enlarged because he scanned it on PS.

Anyway: My pityful attempt!

I am aware you have to really look at it to know its paradox. Hint:but look at it upside down too :P It took ages to get that damned "p" XP

so do i scan it on photoshop.. when you scan it, just zoom out until it looks normalish (25% or something) and hit print screen, then ctrl+v and zoom in again to 100, grab the select tool and select ya drawing thing on the thing of the screen that just appeared and press ctrl+x
then file > new > clipboard > ok and press ctrl+v again. should bring up ya picture in a nice not-so-big way.

I'm sorry about the double post but I had to revive this thread.
I'm done however:the pic is, eh, 2392x1996 pixels in size, (less than half an A4 page) and so is 3.6 mb in size.
Wtf can I do to get it to upload?

~Felly~
07-27-2006, 07:07 PM
You could always go on Imageshack.us and upload the drawing on there. You can resize the image on there...

Nanaki
07-27-2006, 08:42 PM
nah it won't upload, I said that it's 3.6mb and imageshack only take up to 1.5

Cid Highwind
07-27-2006, 09:29 PM
Resize it?

Invader_gir
07-27-2006, 10:33 PM
...
yeah, resize it =/

~Felly~
07-28-2006, 03:37 PM
Oh. Hm, I never knew that Imageshack had a 1.5mb limit... Ah, well... Good luck anyway! ^_^

Nanaki
07-28-2006, 10:22 PM
^thanks FEL.
^^ actually, what's the smallest file type? PNG?

Nanaki
07-28-2006, 10:57 PM
sorry for the double-post but I had to revive this, I got it uploaded (after an age)
I'm gonna post the full image and the link
edit actually forget the full size image its waaaay too big
I'll post the thumb and if you want you can go to the link.

Link: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3760/paradoxej6.gif

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3760/paradoxej6.th.gif (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=paradoxej6.gif)

maybe go to the link anyway, the thumb doesn't really do it justice imo
let the pic load fully, and wait for it to go tot he smaller version.
you can see some pretty bad cover ups on the full size pic but that's just to hide some scribbles & writing that ruined the pic.
Sorry
btw good luck Ant & Kelsi!

edit:
gah, the smaller pic in the link is crap, if you want to see it well, save it.
It's still pretty crap quality though, I couldn't upload the jpg, that's gif
